wix3.6

I'm about to create an installer, now i have to set the install-directory depending on the operation-system. My directory-tree: <Property Id="TARGETDIR" Value="C:\" /> <Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir"> <Directory Id="TARGETDIRECTORY" Name="MyApplication"> <Directory Id="CONFIG" Name="Config"> <Directory Id="FOLDER2" Name="Folder2" /> </Directory> </Directory> </Directory> if i set the TARGETDIRECTORY in the c#-custom-action, the targetdirectory gets set correct, but the CONFIG/FOLDER2 just have the old links. How can i force them to adjust them to the new paths? because they are

I am using WiX 3.6 and VS2010. I have a 32-bit installation working and I'm trying to get a 64-bit installation working. I set the Platform to "x64" in the Configuration Properties. I set the Platform attribute in the Package tag to "x64" in the install script. I changed the installation directory from "ProgramFilesFolder" to "ProgramFiles64Folder". I added the attribute Win64="yes" to each component. I thought this was enough to generate a 64-bit MSI, but it still insists on installing everything in "Program Files (x86)" instead of "Program Files". What am I missing? My mistake. It was

I have multiple config files (for different environments). During install user get to select the environment, and based on that correct files are copied. I want to delete the extra files that are not used. I am using but it doesn't seem to be working. I don't get any errors as such, in the log I see action getting executed but files are not deleted. Can anyone please point what I am doing wrong? <Component Id="RemoveFiles" Guid="C5D634C2-744E-4CA5-BB44-F3DE88482AB5"> <RemoveFile Id="RemoveConfigs" Name="???_*.config" On="install" /> </Component> My RemoveFile table also looks like FileKey

I swapped to Wix 3.6 from the Microsoft Installer that was packaged with VS 2010. I am trying to release a seamless upgrade to our users by using the <MajorUpgrade/> Tag, however I have one feature that I do not want to be un-installed while performing this major upgrade. As seen below I have RemoveFeatures="[ProductFeature]" which will result in only the ProductFeature being removed and the DataFeature will remain, but this results in the entry not being removed from the "Programs and Features" list in Windows as it is when this parameter is not specified. How can I upgrade properly without

I have a problem with my WiX installer in contact with deferred / immediate custom actions. Please excuse my english. I want to surrender some properties, entered by the user, to a deferred custom action. I know that I need a immediate custom action and "CustomActionData" to do that. I´ve implement it at this way. The binary: <Binary Id='myAction' SourceFile='.\TemplateGeneration.CA.dll'/> The immediate custom action: <CustomAction Id='Datenuebergabe' Property='DoSomething' Value='InstalllocVar=[INSTALLLOCATION]'/> The deferred custom action: <CustomAction Id='TemplateGenerationInstallKey'
